Interesting article in the NYTimes on the science of magic, Sleights of Mind. Here’s a quote from the article, quoting Teller:

He left us with his definition of magic: “The theatrical linking of a cause with an effect that has no basis in physical reality, but that — in our hearts — ought to.”

I rather like that.

I haz a green sweater. I likes it. It’s green, like olives and sage and avocadoes are green.
